		<description>Soumya Murag, You have done a great job undoubtedly. I appreciate your effort with my heart &#38; soul. Please keep it in continuation.So many various attacks upon Sanatan Dharma has taken place from ousted but it is still living with its own glorification.
Some dirty matters such as cast discrimination, priesthood have done a severe disaster in this dharma which should be uprooted immediately. 
Any way, than you again &#38; again.</description>

		<description>Hi Soumya, 

Great article. 
Surprisingly reassuring for me as a Kutchi-Gujarati Hindu-born woman.
I've studied most religions, out of personal interest and am rediscovering and appreciating Hinduism now. 

Just wondering what your sources are. You mention various discussions and lectures, but where did the teacher draw the information about Hinduism.
Knowing my youth group, they'll ask me for the evidence (from scriptures). 
If you get a chance, please can you email me or post the sources within your article thoughts/facts. Thanks.

		<description>Good work.I think all Hindus should first understand their religion and then try to clear the misconceptions people of other religion have about hinduism.Hindus especially in India hardly try to discover the greatness of this religion.The fact that it has survived for thousands of years uninterrupted shows its greatness.</description>

		<description>Great work.... I would like clarify on thing about caste system. In Hinduism the four castes are - the Brahmins(Intelletuals,Teachers), the Kshatriyas(Warrriors of religion,people,land,property), the Vaishyas(Businessmen,Brokers), and the Shudras(Workers,working staff). This means each society should have all these classes to live peace fully. Actually is not decided by birth in any particular caste but the path you chose yourself. Suppose a son born to a shudra parents joins the army then he will belong kshatriya section because of his karma(deeds). I am born to brahmin parents and i work as a software guy for an MNC...then i belong to shudra section.</description>

		<description>Isn't it convenient that those lower castes "deserve" their poverty and will get repaid for being slaves to the high caste in the afterlife?  Hinduism was great for justifying the enslaved masses.</description>

		<description>I found this article helpful and informative. I have recently taken an interest in Hinduism (after about a few years of religious exploration). I have gone from what I thought was Christianity, to agnosticism, to atheism. Reading about Hindu philosophy has greatly increased my interest in learning more. 

My biggest difficulty has been finding the core tenets and ideals of a Hindu lifestyle so that I can construct what I believe to be the path to enlightenment. Your article helped to guide me in the right direction. Great piece!

StumbleUpon took me here!</description>

		<description>shea,

The practice of putting dot on forehead is called "bindi" in hinduism. It has cosmetic importance. However, it also signifies in some cultures as the women is not a widow. But unmarried women also put this dot. Men also decorate their foreheads with large dots or "bars" called "tilak". As far as I know it has ritualistic importance. But some people say that it is a tribute to the wisdom/mind that has a seat in the forehead.

Hope that helps!

		<description>Without sounding rude, I would like to know more about the practice Hindu women have of painting a dot on or around their third eye area. I'd like to know what the practice is called, and also the meaning behind it.
Thanks.</description>

		<description>Good article. May I suggest following clarification on basic tenent of Hinduism. The basic tenent is Purushartha i.e Dharma,Artha,Kama and Moksha. It accepts man as it is with all his material/survival(Artha) and mental/emotional(Kama) needs. At the same time it exhorts him to control these needs on the basis of Dharma that the principle which helps everbody to live together in happiness. Next is Moksha that is out growing of this Samsara i.e birth death cycle through a full and fruitful life. Trust this adds more clarity.</description>

		<description>Namasthe Soumya:  As the author  of the book AM I A HINDU? [www.amiahindu.com] I salute you. At a very tender age you have indeed grasped the essence of Hindu Culture.  

As far as I am concerned the very best aspect of Hindu Culture is  ABSOLUTE FREEDOM OF THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS. 

Mahathma Gandhi wrote, even atheists can call themselves as Hindus. That is very true. In fact the CHARVAKA philosophy or NASTIKA philosophy, [existed during the Vedic period] founded by CHARVAKA rejected the existence of God and considered religion as an aberration. 

Voltaire in Essay on Tolerance wrote: "I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death, your right to say it."  

 Hinduism is the symbolic representation of what Voltaire wrote.</description>

		<description>This is an excellent article.  I have been finding a LOT of articles on Hinduism, most of which are filled with inaccuracies -- in this article, the only errors I found were punctuation.  (Sorry, I'm a professional editor, can't help myself.)

I also have written an article on Hinduism.  While yours speaks more to what Hinduism IS, mine speaks more to what it WAS and how it is DIVIDED.  If you're interested, my article can be found on at least one website -- http://www.occult-underground.com/hinduism.html .

Many blessings,
Moss Bliss</description>

		<description>Very useful article. In fact, the University of Guyana students were amazed at the contents and thought it was a good piece since it served to educate those not having an indept knowledge of Sanatan Dharma and further educate the students who knew but learnt more now. Good job Soumyaji.</description>

		<description>Due to richness of Hindu philosophy there are many paths.This also makes it necessary to have a coordination in all Hindu paths and evolve a global coordination strategy. Various Hindu Missions, Organisations, Ashrams are equired to be coordinated. a clear strategy for protection of Hindu Human rights has to be planned and implemented. hinducoordinationcenter.blogspot.com is one such attempt. I invite you to visit Indonesia in May 2008 if possible and explore the rich Hindu heritage and communicate with Hindu community there .</description>

		<description>Soumya, I am very proud that you have taken the onus of defining Hinduism to the rest of the world at this age. It speaks volumes about your mental maturity and the positive effect of attending Boudhiks. One suggestion which I have is that instead of saying mythology, you should say scriptures. A lot of things are possible with yogic powers and mental energies. Also, I say this to every Hindu: Please do not say that Hinduism is not a religion, its a way of life. This statement sounds so lame and can be easily mis-interpreted for suiting a maligning purpose. One should say: Hinduism is not JUST a religion, it is a complete/comprehensive way of life, which touches not just beliefs, but also the way one behaves in society and prepares oneself for the spiritual journey.</description>
